Answer: C. 17.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached photo shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder and the wall. It is a right angle triangle because one of its angles is 90 degrees. The ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle. To determine the height of the wall, we would find BC by applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2

18^2 + 4.5^2 + BC^2

BC^2 = 324 - 20.25 = 303.75

BC = √303.75 = 17.5 feet.

The Expression 4x^2-p(x)+7 leaves a remainder of -2 when divided by (x-3) find the value of p
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

(c)  For p = 15,  4x^2-p(x)+7 leaves a remainder of -2 when divided by (x-3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,  The dividend expression is  4x^2-p(x)+7 = E(x)

The Divisor = (x-3)

Remainder  = -2

Now, by <u>REMAINDER THEOREM</u>:

Dividend  = (Divisor x Quotient)  + Remainder

If ( x -3 ) divides the given polynomial with a remainder -2.

⇒  x = 3  is a  solution of given polynomial E(x)  - (-2) =  

E(x)  - (-2)  = 4x^2-p(x)+7 -(-2)  = 4x^2-p(x)+9 =  S(x)

Now, S(3) = 0

⇒4x^2-p(x)+9 = 4(3)^2 - p(3) + 9 = 0\\\implies 36 - 3p + 9 = 0\\\implies 45= 3p , \\or p  =15

or, p =1 5

Hence, for p = 15,  4x^2-p(x)+7 leaves a remainder of -2 when divided by (x-3).
